# SourceCred Podcast ## Status: In progress ## Champion[?](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/about-champions-and-heroes/291): ![Avatar](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/user_avatar/discourse.sourcecred.io/s_ben/45/78_2.png) @s_ben ## Initiative Description: Discourse posts are great, but sometimes people just donā€™t have the time for long, thoughtful reponses. We want a place where people can discuss SoureCred in a fun, time-efficient way. Letā€™s create a podcast. We can interview contributors and interesting people in the space. ## Benefits: Participants will have a chance to discuss SourceCred in a fun, engaging way that is respectful of their time. The project gets exposure and more potential contributors become aware of it. ## Implementation plan: Pre-production: - Set up production environment (mics, recording software, etc.) - Find co-host that can help with logistics, audio tech For each podcast: - Find guest - Schedule time - Create topics to discuss - Record podcast - Lightly edit podcast - Broadcast on social media channels to start (if it gets traction, we can look into distributing more widely). ## Estimated Work (hours): Highly variable, but imagining: - Pre-production: 3 hrs - Production: 5 hrs - Distribution: 1 hr * * * Total: 9 hrs ## Dependencies: Not dependent on any current initiatives that I see, but dependent on guest availability, availability of co-host. ## References See below. ## Contributions: Notes from brainstorming about podcast: > [@"Radio show" kickoff notes](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/radio-show-kickoff-notes/246): > > Had a productive call regarding the proposed [radio show](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/radio-show-on-dischord/234), veered into some interesting tangents about SourceCred generally. Participants:@decentralion, @nothingismagick , @ajbouh Notes:@nothingismagick dropped some useful podcast knowledge, with some good recommendations. We will likely do an interview format, where a host (likely me) and co-host (decentralion when they can make it) will interview SC contributors, other interesting people in the space.

BTW @s_ben an idea, I could be the ā€œguest of last resortā€ when we donā€™t have another guest to spotlight. Thereā€™s a lot of specific subjects we could deep dive into, like: - SourceCred planning for 2020 - SourceCred as a post-capitalist paradigm (e.g. ā€œEcoCredā€, or SourceCred applied to ecological conservation) - a whole podcast episode on gaming - a whole podcast episode focused on understanding the cred algorithm and so forth ---

Sure. Sounds like an interesting convo for me anyway šŸ™‚ I was going to ask, can you think of any just interesting people from the space that might want to be the next guest? If I have you on too, I think the convo could be much more interesting. Especially if theyā€™re involved with or at least have checked out SC and have opinions on it. ---

I think @mzargham would be a natural choice, since he has plenty of context on SourceCred. We could potentially get Juan Benet too. ---

Both would be great. What u say @mzargham? If you canā€™t be the next guest, can we schedule you sometime in the coming weeks? Weā€™ve settled on a quick 30 min format to better snag busy people like yourself (though happy to do a full hour if youā€™re up for it)? ---

Iā€™d love to. I do apologize for being less available of late. Busy times. I should be able to make it if I plan ahead. I see Tuesday Nov 12, 7pm CET on my calendar. If that is correct, Iā€™ll block it off. Thanks for thinking of me! -mZ ---

Sweet! @decentralion does that work for you? I know dandelion is on [vacation](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/dandelion-on-vacation-11-5-to-11-11/335) right now, so they may not get back right away. But letā€™s just pencil this in. I can definitely make this time. ---

Should this be transitioned into an [Artifact](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/about-the-artifacts-category/253), and if so, how do we want to transition [Initiatives](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/about-the-initiatives-category/242) to Artifacts? ---

Was wondering this as well. Do we want to create a template for artifacts, similar to what we do with initiatives? So far it looks like the only requirements are that itā€™s a wiki editable by the community and links to ā€˜sub artifactsā€™ (contributions composing it)? ---
